As evening fell, Xiao Cha returned home.
The courtyard was filled with the sounds of fists and feet cutting through the air, and sharp blades whistling through the air...
Upon entering, one could see that Lu Li was practicing the White Dragon Whip Technique while simultaneously using his mind to control his Sword Control and launch attacks.
He practiced for who knows how long, and the sweat on his body had already evaporated into white mist.
"That big jerk didn't bully Wan Qing at all!"
Xiao Cha was quite satisfied. She had thought that without her, the two of them would engage in lewd acts during the day, but it seems she had misunderstood.
Just then, Tong Shao slipped over and whispered, "Is Wan Qing getting married? She's changed everything in the house to red!"
The child played wildly all day, and his head and face were covered in dirt.
Xiao Cha helped wipe it off, saying, "Children shouldn't meddle in adults' affairs. Have you finished practicing your calligraphy? I'll be checking it tonight."
"Hmph~ No good deed goes unpunished, I'm not going to talk to you anymore~"
Tong Shao frowned, stomped his foot hard, and ran back to his room.
"Little brat." Xiao Cha chuckled and glanced into Wan Qing's room...
Inside, the quilts and mattresses had indeed been changed to bright red, and there were even embroidered mandarin ducks and water birds.
"That brat's in heat!"
Xiao Cha knew exactly what was going on, and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of saliva before running over to pinch Lu Li's cheeks.
"Big pig's trotter!"
"Ouch~" Lu Li rubbed the spot where he had been pinched and asked, "Did you run into trouble outside?"
"There is something."
Xiao Cha was just about to speak when Wan Qing happened to come out of the kitchen, so they listened together.
"... That's basically it, mainly the life-or-death arena. I figured we caused a lot of this mess, so I volunteered."
After listening, Lu Li nodded and said, "You did the right thing. The [Killing for Benevolence Society] is an ally, so it's only right that we help them."
At this moment, Wan Qing spoke up:
"Izumo has always been fond of psychological warfare. Besides spreading rumors on the radio and in newspapers, they also hold life-or-death arenas to publicly torture and kill martial artists from the Divine Continent in order to achieve the goal of 'destroying their spirit'... Young Master, this time you can 'fight fire with fire' by publicly killing Izumo martial artists and making them lose face!"
"That's exactly right!" Xiao Cha nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, and then offered her advice:
"You'll definitely win, but you need to come up with a safe way to kill him, without revealing your true Spirit Refinement cultivation level."
Lu Li already has a solution for this.
He found the book, "Military Way of Killing Fist: Heavy Artillery Bombardment," and said:
"This 'Grandmaster Martial Skill' is incredibly powerful. Although I haven't reached the requirements for using [Marrow Cleansing Meditative Entry], activating the 'weakened version' is no problem, and it's enough to deal with those in the [Organ Refining] realm."
Xiao Cha's eyes lit up. "All martial arts under heaven lead to the same goal, and there are always some seemingly similar but actually deceptive moves that can confuse the eye!"
She patted her husband on the shoulder and laughed heartily:
"Not bad, not bad! You're so smart! And studying this Grandmaster level martial arts manual can bring a lot of benefits to your Martial Arts cultivation."
Lu Li smiled and nodded. He needed to put more effort into Martial Arts so that he wouldn't get stuck every time he advanced to the Spirit Refinement Realm.
The problem is now solved.
Wan Qing covered her mouth and chuckled, "It's getting late, let's eat quickly."
~~~~~~~~~
Dinner consisted of six dishes and a soup, a particularly lavish meal.
Wan Qing diligently served Xiao Cha rice and vegetables.
In no time, the meat in the Xiao Cha bowl was piled up high, almost tipping over.
When you give a gift, you must have something in mind.
Xiao Cha glanced at the "wedding room," already knowing what was going on, but continued eating without showing any emotion.
After the meal, Lu Li brewed a pot of Spirit Tea and studied the secret manual while sipping it.
Xiao Cha took her teacup back to her room and sat calmly by the window, waiting...
Sure enough, Wan Qing came over with small, quick steps, and said shyly:
"Xiao Cha, is your period over?"
"No, there's still a little bit left. What's wrong?"
"Um... I'd like to keep Young Master Lu tonight, is that alright?"
Wan Qing blushed, both shy and charming, a stark contrast to her usual gentle and graceful demeanor.
Logically, everyone had agreed that consummating the marriage was a given, but Xiao Cha was still a little unhappy...
She recalled a time when she was a child, and Wan Qing had a nightmare and was so scared that she wanted to sleep with Xiaohu in her arms.
At that time, I was also very unwilling; this is human possessiveness.
They want to possess the people or things they like exclusively, not allowing others to touch them, and disregarding the feelings of others.
After receiving no response for a long time, Wan Qing whispered, "Is it okay?"
Xiao Cha snapped out of her daze, her eyes darting around, and said with a wicked smile, "Of course it'll work, but do you know how to please a man?"
Wan Qing nodded blankly, "I roughly know how to do it..."
"Having a general understanding isn't enough."
Xiao Cha was secretly overjoyed, eagerly awaiting the show:
[I almost passed out during my marrow cleansing, you probably would have... hehehe~]
~~~~~~~~~~
Having received approval, Wan Qing blushed and went back to her room.
She sat on the edge of the bed, nervously fidgeting with her fingertips...
A short while later, the door opened and Lu Li entered.
A familiar hand wrapped around her shoulder, Wan Qing shrank back, her voice trembling as she said:
"I can't see, and I'm a little scared... Please have pity on me Young Master."
"Don't worry, Wan Qing, you are my priceless treasure. I will be very, very careful."
Suppressing his excitement, Lu Li licked his lips, preparing to savor the pomelo.
Meanwhile, Xiao Cha pricked up her ears, ready to hear the good show...
She wasn't worried about anything; although Lu Li was a big jerk, he always knew how to take care of people.
Moreover, Wan Qing's [Thoughtless Meditation Bone Forging] technique isn't that fragile, but she's still bound to make a fool of herself sometimes.
The house was actually quite soundproof, and Xiao Cha, afraid of missing anything, focused her Internal Breath and listened carefully.
Coco waited and waited, listened intently... but there was still no sound from the other side.
Little did she know, Lu Li wouldn't get straight to the point so quickly.
Fortunately, time always passes, and eventually there was some movement in the yard.
"Pfft, haha~" Xiao Cha couldn't stop laughing.
Just then, a faint cry and curse came from the other side, "You Xiao Cha!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Cha immediately burst into laughter, clutching her stomach and nearly falling over.
At that moment, the slight resentment in her heart disappeared without her even realizing it...
A forsythia blossom landed on the evening breeze, and the Wan Qing sang joyfully like a lark, bringing a moment of bright spring sunshine.
Xiao Cha let go of her worries, and when she heard the noise again, she felt hot and was about to close the window...
It was at this moment that a red glow emanated from Wan Qing's room...
This is definitely not the color of a "joyful blanket," but rather... flames!
Xiao Cha was suddenly startled. She leaped into the yard, picked up the water vat, and ran over.
Fortunately, a "Honeycomb Shield" appeared instantly, isolating the inside from the outside and concealing all the strange phenomena.
At this moment, Lu Li was standing behind Wan Qing, and the two of them simultaneously saw a... divine bird whose entire body was made of flames!
"Vermilion Bird???"
This is precisely the [Four Spirits] that appeared once when Wan Qing broke through to the Refinement of Spirit Refinement and Thoughtless Meditation!
